Jack consumes only Bread (good x) and Cheese (good y). His utility function is given byU (x, y) = ln(x) + ln(y)(a) Find Jack’s marginal rate of substitution (MRS) at bundle (x, y).(b) The price of good x is $6 and the price of good y is $3. Jack has an income of $120. Findhis utility-maximising consumption bundle.(c) Calculate Jack’s utility from the bundle you have found in part (b). (You can leave youranswer expressed in logarithm.).(d) In a graph with the quantity of x on the x-axis and the quantity of y on the y-axis, drawJack’s budget line, clearly marking the intercepts and the utility maximising bundle youhave solved in part (b) (call it bundle A). Also sketch an indifference curve passing throughbundle A.(e) Now the price of good y increases to $6 while the price of good x remains at $6. Jack’sincome remains at $120. Calculate his new utility-maximising consumption bundle.(f) On the diagram you have drawn for part (d), draw Jack’s new budget line, clearly markingthe intercepts and the new optimal bundle you have solved in part (e) (call it bundle B).Also sketch an indifference curve passing through bundle B.(g) Find the minimal expenditure required for Jack to achieve his original utility level (i.e.,your answer to part (c)) under the new prices. As you are finding this minimal expenditure,solve for the expenditure-minimising bundle that achieves the original utility level underthe new prices.(h) On the diagram you have drawn for parts (d) and (f), draw the budget line associatedwith the minimal expenditure you have solved in part (g), clearly marking the interceptsand the expenditure-minimising bundle you have solved in part (e) (call this bundle H).

Consider a consumer who can buy good 1 or 2. The price of good 1 is $5 and the price for good 2 is $4. The consumer has income of 60. She buys 12 units of good 2.
